Note 3 Revenues

The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive for providing those goods or services.

Revenues for products are generally recognized upon shipment, whereas revenues for services and ~~solutions~~solution offerings are generally recognized over time by using an output or time-based method, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. Revenues for software are recognized either upon delivery or over time using a time-based method, depending upon how control is transferred to the customer. In cases where a bundle of products, services, solutions and/or software are delivered to the customer, judgment is required to select the method of progress which best reflects the transfer of control.

Contract Balances

Progress on satisfying performance obligations under contracts with customers related to billed revenues is reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Accounts receivable, net. Progress on satisfying performance obligations under contracts with customers related to unbilled revenues (“contract assets”) is reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Prepaid expenses and other current assets for revenues expected to be billed within the next twelve months, and Other long-term assets for revenues expected to be billed thereafter. The total contract asset balances were ~~$11 million and~~ $10 million each as of ~~October~~April 2, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020, respectively.~~2021. These contract assets result from timing differences between ~~the~~ billing and ~~delivery schedules of products, services and software,~~satisfying performance obligations, as well as the impact from the allocation of the transaction price among performance obligations for contracts that include multiple performance obligations. Contract assets are evaluated for impairment and no impairment losses have been recognized during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~October~~April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021, ~~and September 26, 2020.~~respectively.

Deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consists of payments and billings in advance of our performance. The combined short-term and long-term deferred revenue balances were ~~$681~~$715 million and ~~$581~~$695 million as of ~~October~~April 2, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~October~~April 2, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company recognized ~~$74 million and $259~~$129 million in revenue, ~~respectively,~~ which was previously included in the beginning balance of deferred revenue as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 26, 2020,~~April 3, 2021, the Company recognized ~~$47 million and $204~~$110 million in revenue, ~~respectively,~~ which was previously included in the beginning balance of deferred revenue as of December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Note 5 Business Acquisitions

~~Fetch~~

On ~~August 9, 2021,~~March 14, 2022, the Company ~~acquired Fetch Robotics, Inc. (“Fetch”)~~entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Matrox Electronic Systems Ltd., a ~~provider~~developer of ~~autonomous mobile robot solutions for customers who operate in the manufacturing~~advanced machine vision components and ~~warehousing markets. Through its acquisition~~systems. The purchase price of ~~Fetch, the Company intends~~approximately $875 million is expected to ~~expand its automation solution offerings to customers in the manufacturing, distribution, and fulfillment industries.~~

The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The total purchase consideration was $301 million, which consisted of $290 million in cash paid, netbe funded with a combination of cash ~~on-hand,~~on hand and ~~the fair value~~financing from our credit facility. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close mid 2022. The acquired business will become part of the Company’s existing ownership interest in Fetch of $11 million, as remeasured upon acquisition. This remeasurement resulted in a $1 million gain reflected in Other (expense) income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company utilized estimated fair values as of August 9, 2021 to allocate the total purchase consideration to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair value of the net assets acquired was based on several estimates and assumptions, as well as customary valuation techniques, primarily the excess earnings method for technology and patent intangible assets. While we believe these estimates provide a reasonable basis to record the net assets acquired, the purchase price allocation is considered preliminary and subject to adjustment during the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date. The primary fair value estimates still considered preliminary as of October 2, 2021 include intangible assets and income tax-related items.

~~The preliminary purchase price allocation to assets acquired and liabilities assumed was as follows (in millions):~~

~~Table of Contents~~


~~Identifiable intangible assets~~	$	~~114~~
~~Right-of-use lease asset~~	11
~~Inventories~~	6
~~Other assets acquired~~	5
~~Deferred tax liabilities~~	~~(27)~~
~~Lease liability~~	~~(11)~~
~~Other liabilities assumed~~	~~(4)~~
~~Net assets acquired~~	$	94
~~Goodwill on acquisition~~	~~207~~
~~Total purchase price~~	$	~~301~~

~~The $207 million of goodwill, which is non-deductible for tax purposes, has been allocated to the~~ EVM ~~segment and principally relates to the planned geographic expansion and integration of Fetch into the Company’s manufacturing and warehouse automation offerings.~~

~~The preliminary purchase price allocation to identifiable intangible assets acquired was as follows:~~

Fair Value (in millions) Useful Life (in years)
Technology and patents $ 100 7
Customer and other relationships 5 2
Trade names 9 5
Total identifiable intangible assets $ 114

In connection with the acquisition of Fetch, the Company granted share-based compensation awards, principally as replacement awards for unvested Fetch stock options, in the form of stock-settled restricted stock units (“stock-settled RSUs”). A total of 40,837 stock-settled RSUs were granted, each with a grant-date fair value of $563.98. The total fair value of approximately $23 million is attributable to service to be rendered subsequent to acquisition and will generally be expensed over a 3-year service period.

~~The Company has not included unaudited pro forma results, as if Fetch had been acquired as of January 1, 2020, as doing so would not yield materially different results.~~

~~Adaptive Vision~~

On May 17, 2021, the Company acquired Adaptive Vision Sp. z o.o. (“Adaptive Vision”), a provider of graphical machine vision software with applications in the manufacturing industry, as well as a provider of libraries and other offerings for machine vision developers. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The Company’s cash purchase consideration of $18 million, net of cash on-hand, was primarily allocated to technology-related intangible assets of $13 million and associated deferred tax liabilities, and goodwill of $7 million. The technology-related intangible assets have an estimated useful life of eight years. While we believe these estimates provide a reasonable basis to record the net assets acquired, the purchase price allocation is considered preliminary and subject to adjustment during the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date. The goodwill, which will be non-deductible for tax purposes, has been allocated to the EVM segment and principally relates to the planned expansion of the Adaptive Vision technologies into new product offerings and markets. The Company has not included unaudited pro forma results, as if Adaptive Vision had been acquired as of January 1, 2020, as doing so would not yield materially different results.

~~Reflexis~~

During the third quarter of 2021, the Company finalized the purchase price allocation related to its September 1, 2020 acquisition of Reflexis Systems, Inc. (“Reflexis”). Before finalizing the purchase price allocation, during the second quarter of 2021, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments consisting of a $9 million increase to the trade name intangible assets and a $4 million increase to deferred tax liabilities. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company recorded its final measurement period adjustment consisting of a $2 million decrease to deferred tax liabilities. These adjustments, relating to facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date, resulted in a $7 million reduction of goodwill.

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company also received escrow proceeds of $1 million related to resolution of contractual items resulting from the Reflexis acquisition. These proceeds were reflected as a reduction in purchase price with a corresponding decrease of goodwill.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Acquisition and integration costs~~

We incurred approximately $6 million and $11 million of acquisition-related costs, primarily related to third-party transaction and advisory fees, during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021, respectively, associated with our business acquisitions. These costs are included within Acquisition and integration costs on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.segment.

In connection with that additional investment, during the second quarter of 2020, the Company identified an observable price change that resulted in a $7 million gain.April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021, respectively.

Net gains and losses related to the Company’s investments are included within Other ~~(expense)~~ income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recognized net gains of $0 million and $1 million ~~each~~ during the three months ended ~~October~~April 2, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~September 26, 2020, respectively.

Note 87 Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into the following three broad levels:

•Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs (e.g. U.S. Treasuries and money market funds).

•Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets but corroborated by market data.

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs to the extent possible. In addition, the Company considers counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value.

(1)The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts is calculated as follows:

•Fair value of regular forward contracts associated with forecasted sales hedges is calculated using the period-end exchange rate adjusted for current forward points.

•Fair value of hedges against net assets is calculated at the period-end exchange rate adjusted for current forward points unless the hedge has been traded but not settled at year end (Level 2). If this is the case, the fair value is calculated at the rate at which the hedge is being settled (Level 1).

(2)The fair value of forward interest rate swaps is based upon a valuation model that uses relevant observable market inputs at the quoted intervals, such as forward yield curves, and is adjusted for the Company’s credit risk and the interest rate swap terms.

The Company formally documents all relationships between designated hedging instruments and hedged items as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking hedge transactions. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

In accordance with ASC 815, the Company recognizes derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures them at fair value. The following table presents the fair value of its derivative instruments (in millions):

Credit and Market Risk Management

Financial instruments, including derivatives, expose the Company to counterparty credit risk of nonperformance and to market risk related to currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations. The Company manages its exposure to counterparty credit risk by establishing minimum credit standards, diversifying its counterparties, and monitoring its concentrations of credit. The Company’s counterparties are commercial banks with expertise in derivative financial instruments. The Company evaluates the impact of market risk on the fair value and cash flows of its derivative and other financial instruments by considering reasonably possible changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. The Company continually monitors the

Table of Contents

creditworthiness of the customers to which it grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The terms and conditions of the Company’s credit policies are designed to mitigate concentrations of credit risk.

The Company’s master netting and other similar arrangements with the respective counterparties allow for net settlement under certain conditions, which are designed to reduce credit risk by permitting net settlement with the same counterparty. We present the assets and liabilities of our derivative financial instruments, for which we have net settlement agreements in place, on a net basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. If the derivative financial instruments had been presented gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the asset and liability positions ~~each~~ would have been unchanged as of ~~October~~April 2, ~~2021~~2022 and increased by $1 million as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk Management

The Company conducts business on a multinational basis in a variety of foreign currencies. Exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises primarily from Euro-denominated external revenues, cross-border financing activities between subsidiaries, and foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The Company manages its objective of preserving the economic value of non-functional currency denominated cash flows by initially hedging transaction exposures with natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and, once these opportunities have been exhausted, through foreign exchange forward and option contracts, as deemed appropriate.

The Company manages the exchange rate risk of anticipated Euro-denominated sales using forward contracts, which typically mature within twelve months of execution. The Company designates these derivative contracts as cash flow hedges. Unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets until the contract is settled and the hedged sale is realized. The realized gain or loss is then recorded as an adjustment to Net sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Realized amounts reclassified to Net sales were $5$16 million of gains and $8$12 million of losses for the three months ended ~~October~~April 2, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~September 26, 2020, respectively. Realized amounts reclassified to Net sales were $15 million of losses and $6 million of gains for the nine months ended October 2,~~April 3, 2021, ~~and September 26, 2020,~~ respectively. As of ~~October~~April 2, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the notional amounts of the Company’s foreign exchange cash flow hedges were ~~€637~~€602 million and ~~€585~~€675 million, respectively. The Company has reviewed its cash flow hedges for effectiveness and determined that they are highly effective.

The Company uses forward contracts, which are not designated as hedging instruments, to manage its exposures related to net assets denominated in foreign currencies. These forward contracts typically mature within one month after execution. Monetary gains and losses on these forward contracts are recorded in income and are generally offset by the transaction gains and losses related to their net asset positions. The notional values and the net fair ~~value~~values of these outstanding contracts ~~are~~were as follows (in millions):

Interest Rate Risk Management

The Company’s debt consists of borrowings under a term loan (“Term Loan A”), Revolving Credit Facility, and Receivables Financing Facilities, which bear interest at variable rates plus applicable margins. As a result, the Company is exposed to market risk associated with the variable interest rate payments on these borrowings. See Note ~~10,~~9, Long-Term Debt for further details about these borrowings.

The Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates by utilizing long-term forward interest rate swaps to hedge this exposure and to achieve a desired proportion of fixed versus floating-rate debt, based on current and projected market conditions.

~~In December 2017, the~~The Company ~~entered into a~~has 1 active long-term forward interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $800 million to lock into a fixed LIBOR interest rate base, ~~for its debt facilities~~which is subject to monthly net cash settlements effective through December 2022.

Table of Contents

The Company also previously held fixed LIBOR interest ~~payments. Under the terms of the agreement,~~rate swaps with an $800 million ~~in variable-rate debt will be swapped for a fixed~~total notional amount that were subject to net cash settlements effective between December 2022 and August 2024.In the first quarter of 2022, the Company terminated those interest rate ~~with net settlement terms starting in December 2018~~swaps and ~~ending in December 2022. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company~~ entered into ~~additional long-term forward~~new interest rate swap agreements ~~with~~that contain a total notional amount of $800 million ~~containing~~to lock into a fixed SOFR interest rate base and will be subject to monthly net ~~settlement terms, which start~~cash settlements effective in December 2022 and ~~end~~ending in ~~August 2024.~~ October 2027. There was no cash settlement, or significant impact on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, as a result of these transactions in the first quarter of 2022.

The ~~additional interest rate swap agreements effectively extend the risk management initiative of the Company to coincide with the maturities of Term Loan A and the Revolving Credit Facility. These~~Company’s interest rate swaps are not designated as hedges and changes in fair value are recognized immediately as Interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Contingencies

The Company is subject to a variety of investigations, claims, suits, and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to, intellectual property, employment, tort, and breach of contract matters. The Company currently believes that the outcomes of such proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on its business, cash flows, financial position, or results of operations. Any legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and the Company’s view of these matters and their potential effects may change in the future.

In 2020, the Company received approval of its exclusion request of customs duties that had been paid on certain products under Section 301 of the U.S. Trade Act of 1974 from September 1, 2019 through September 1, 2020 and commenced a process to request recovery of previously assessed amounts. Recoveries are recognized when the Company has completed all regulatory filing requirements and determined that receipt of amounts is virtually certain. Recoveries totaling $12 million were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020, of which $4 million related to our AIT segment and $8 million related to our EVM segment. During the nine months ended October 2, 2021, the Company recorded recoveries of $16 million, of which $9 million related to our AIT segment and $7 million related to our EVM segment. Recoveries during the three months ended October 2, 2021 were not significant. Both the initially incurred costs and related recoveries were included within Cost of sales for Tangible products on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company believes that it has recovered substantially all of the import duties that it expects to receive on previously paid amounts. The final amounts and the timings of any additional recoveries remain uncertain and, therefore, the Company has not recorded any amounts related to potential future recoveries in its financial statements as of October 2, 2021.

Note 1211 Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~October~~April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021 was ~~12.7%~~18.0% and ~~12.9%~~17.4%, ~~respectively, compared to 15.9% and 11.3%, respectively, for the comparable periods ended September 26, 2020.~~respectively. In ~~both~~ the current ~~and prior year periods,~~period, the variance from the 21% federal statutory rate was primarily attributable to lower tax rates on foreign earnings and U.S. tax credits. In the ~~benefits of~~prior period, the variance from the 21% federal statutory rate was primarily attributable to share-based compensation deductions, lower tax rates on foreign earnings and U.S. tax credits. In addition, the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021 include the benefit of a foreign-derived intangible income deduction in the U.S. The nine month period ended October 2, 2021 also benefited from the remeasurement of deferred tax assets associated with the enactment of a corporate tax rate increase in the U.K. during the second quarter of 2021.

The Company ~~is continually monitoring~~evaluated the provisions of the American Rescue Plan Act, signed into law on March 11, 2021; the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, signed into law on December 27, 2020; and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, signed into law on March 27, 2020. The provisions of these laws did not have a significant impact to our effective tax rate in either the current or prior year. Management continues to monitor guidance regarding these laws and developments related to other coronavirus tax relief throughout the world for potential impacts.

The Company earns a significant amount of its operating income outside of the U.S that is taxed at rates different than the U.S. federal statutory rate. The Company’s principal foreign jurisdictions that provide sources of operating income are the U.K. and Singapore. During the second quarter of 2021, the U.K. government enacted a change in law that increases the corporate tax rate from 19% to 25%, with such rate change becoming effective in April 2023. Upon enactment, we remeasured our deferred tax assets to reflect the 25% statutory rate to the extent such tax benefits are expected to be realized in the future at the amended statutory rate. In addition, theThe Company has received an incentivized tax rate from the Singapore Economic Development Board, which reduces the income tax rate in that jurisdiction effective for calendar years 2019 to 2023. The Company has committed to making additional investments in Singapore over the period 2019 to 2022. However, should the Company not make these investments in accordance with the agreement, any incentive benefit would have to be repaid to the Singapore tax authorities.

The Company is not permanently reinvested with respect to its U.S. directly-owned foreign subsidiaries. The Company is subject to U.S. income tax on substantially all foreign earnings under ~~the~~ Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, ~~provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”),~~ while any remaining foreign earnings are eligible for a dividends received ~~deduction under the Act.~~deduction. As a result, future repatriation of earnings will not be subject to additional U.S. federal income tax but may be subject to currency translation gains or losses. Where required, the Company has recorded a deferred tax liability for foreign withholding taxes on current earnings. Additionally, gains and losses on any future taxable dispositions of U.S.-owned foreign affiliates continue to be subject to U.S. income tax.

Management evaluates all jurisdictions based on historical pre-tax earnings and taxable income to determine the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis. Based on this analysis, a valuation allowance has been recorded for any jurisdictions where, in the Company’s judgment, tax benefits are not expected to be realized. There were no changes to our valuation allowance during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~October~~April 2, ~~2021.~~

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company is currently undergoing U.S. federal income tax audits for tax years 2017 and 2018. Additionally, fiscal years ~~2004~~2009 through ~~2018~~2022 remain open to examination by multiple foreign and U.S. state taxing jurisdictions. As of ~~October~~April 2, ~~2021,~~2022, no significant uncertain tax positions are expected to be settled within the next twelve months. Due to uncertainties in any tax audit or litigation outcome, the Company’s estimates of the ultimate settlements of uncertain tax positions may change and the actual tax benefits may differ significantly from estimates.

Note 1312 Earnings Per Share

Basic net earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares assuming dilution. Dilutive common shares outstanding is computed using the Treasury Stock method and, in periods of income, reflects the additional shares that would be outstanding if dilutive share-based compensation awards were converted into common shares during the period.

Note 1413 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Stockholders’ equity includes certain items classified as AOCI, including:

•Unrealized gain (loss) on anticipated sales hedging transactions relates to derivative instruments used to hedge the exposure related to currency exchange rates for forecasted Euro sales. These hedges are designated as cash flow hedges, and the Company defers income statement recognition of gains and losses until the hedged transaction occurs. See Note 9,8, Derivative Instruments for more details.

•Foreign currency translation adjustments relate to the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiary companies that have designated a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar. The Company is required to translate the subsidiary functional currency financial statements to U.S. Dollars using a combination of historical, period end, and average foreign exchange rates. This combination of rates creates the foreign currency translation adjustment component of AOCI.

Note 1514 Accounts Receivable Factoring

The Company has Receivables Factoring arrangements, pursuant to which certain receivables are sold to banks without recourse in exchange for cash. Transactions under the Receivables Factoring arrangements are accounted for as sales under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets, with the sold receivables removed from the Company’s balance sheet. Under these Receivables Factoring arrangements, the Company does not maintain any beneficial interest in the receivables sold. The banks’ purchase of eligible receivables is subject to a maximum amount of uncollected receivables. The Company services the receivables on behalf of the banks, but otherwise maintains no significant continuing involvement with respect to the receivables. Sale proceeds that are representative of the fair value of factored receivables, less a factoring fee, are reflected in Net cash provided by operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, while sale proceeds in excess of the fair value of factored receivables are reflected in Net cash ~~(used in) provided by~~used in financing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

~~During the second quarter of 2021, 1 of the Company’s Receivables Factoring arrangements that was no longer actively utilized expired.~~The Company currently has 2 ~~remaining~~ active Receivables Factoring arrangements. One arrangement allows for the factoring of up to ~~$50~~$25 million of uncollected receivables originated from the ~~EMEA~~Europe, Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”) region. The second arrangement allows for the factoring of up to €150 million of uncollected receivables originated from the EMEA and Asia-Pacific regions. With respect to the second arrangement, the Company is required to maintain a portion of sales proceeds as deposits in a restricted cash account that is released to the Company as it satisfies its obligations as servicer of sold receivables, which totaled $1$16 million and ~~$24~~$12 million as of ~~October~~April 2, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, and is classified within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~October~~April 2, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~September 26, 2020,~~April 3, 2021, the Company received cash proceeds of ~~$1,161~~$408 million and ~~$857~~$413 million, respectively, from the sales of accounts receivables under its factoring arrangements.As of ~~October~~April 2, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, there were a total of ~~$23~~$68 million and ~~$70~~$24 million, respectively, of uncollected receivables that had been sold and removed from the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As servicer of sold receivables, the Company had ~~$120~~$116 million and ~~$142~~$141 million of obligations that were not yet remitted to banks as of ~~October~~April 2, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. These obligations are included within Accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in such obligations reflected within Net cash ~~(used in) provided by~~used in financing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Fees incurred in connection with these arrangements were not significant.

Note 1615 Segment Information & Geographic Data

The Company’s operations consist of 2 reportable segments: Asset Intelligence & Tracking (“AIT”) and Enterprise Visibility & Mobility (“EVM”). The reportable segments have been identified based on the financial data utilized by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the chief operating decision maker or “CODM”) to assess segment performance and allocate resources among the Company’s segments. The CODM reviews adjusted operating income to assess segment profitability. To the extent applicable, segment operating income excludes business acquisition purchase accounting adjustments, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition and integration costs, impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, and exit and restructuring ~~costs, and product sourcing diversification~~ costs. Segment assets are not reviewed by the Company’s CODM and therefore are not disclosed below.

Effective January 1, ~~2021, Retail Solutions~~2022, the location solutions offering, which provides a range of RTLS and services that generate on-demand information about the physical location and status of assets, equipment, and people, moved from our AIT segment into our EVM segment contemporaneous with a change in our organizational structure and management of the business. ~~Prior period~~We have reported our results ~~have been revised to conform to the current segment presentation.~~reflecting this change, including historical periods, on a comparable basis.

We have reported our results reflecting this change, including historical periods, on a comparable basis. This change ~~does~~did not have an impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Developments

Russia and Ukraine War

We are closely monitoring Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which remains an evolving and uncertain situation. On March 5, 2022, we announced the suspension of our business operations in Russia. Neither Russia nor Ukraine comprises a material portion of our business, and therefore, the war thus far has not had a significant effect on our results of operations. Additionally, the war has not significantly affected our ability to source supplies or deliver our products and services to our customers in the surrounding EMEA region. However, the implications of this war may expand beyond the current scope, potentially resulting in significant adverse impact on our business.

COVID-19 Outbreak

The global coronavirus (“COVID-19”~~or the “pandemic”~~ ) ~~situation~~pandemic continues to ~~be complex and rapidly evolving.~~evolve. Governmental agencies, to varying degrees, have imposed, and continue to impose, several protocols and regulations restricting ~~the physical movement or other~~ activities of individuals in an effort to limit the spread of ~~COVID-19.~~COVID-19 when rates of infection rise, with some relaxation of these measures when infections rates are relatively low. We have implemented a number of measures in an effort to protect our employees’ health and well-being over the course of the pandemic tailored to address the local impacts, including having the majority of office workers work remotely during the height of the pandemic and high risk times and gradually ~~re-introducing office workers~~returning to ~~a return to office,~~ offices as restrictions are lifted when risks decrease,

limiting employee travel, and implementing more strenuous health and safety measures for hosting and attending in-person industry events. Throughout the pandemic, distribution centers and repair centers have remained open at varying capacity levels to ensure continued support to our customers, many of whom provide essential goods and services to communities. As governments ~~continue to~~ ease their restrictions, ~~and we continue to~~

The Company’s 2021 sales and profitability, particularly in the first half of the year, ~~have~~ benefited from pent-up demand from customers who we believe had previously delayed purchases ~~in 2020~~ due to the pandemic, as well as the resulting acceleration of the underlying trend to digitize and automate workflows. The level of demand for certain product components has resulted in lengthened lead times and higher input costs in the current year, including freight, which have become more significant during the year and, in some cases, have impacted our ability to meet customer demand. The Company expects input costs to remain elevated for some period of time. The availability of certain component parts may include the potential for product shortages which could negatively impact our ability to meet forecasted customer demand should suppliers of necessary parts no longer be able to provide such parts or sufficiently allocate supply among their customers, including the Company.

~~Year to date 2021 compared to Year to date 2020~~

Total Net Sales increased $1,020 million or 32.5% compared to the prior year primarily due to broad-based customer demand to digitize and automate their businesses. Net sales growth across both of our segments and all of our regions included pent-up demand from customers who we believe had delayed purchases in fiscal 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Net sales for the prior year included the negative impacts of supply chain disruptions within our EVM segment resulting from the temporary closure of a key distribution center supplying the Americas late in the first quarter. EVM Net sales growth was 34.4% and AIT Net sales growth was 28.5% compared to the prior year. Excluding the effects of favorable currency changes and acquisitions, the increase in Consolidated Organic Net sales was 28.8%.

Gross margin increased to 47.1% for the current year compared to 44.1% for the prior year. Gross margins were higher than the prior year primarily due to favorable business mix and volume leverage, higher support service margins, favorable currency changes, partial recovery of Chinese import tariffs in the current year, the mitigation of Chinese import tariffs as of the fourth quarter of 2020, and contributions from our recent higher margin EVM acquisitions. These benefits were partially offset by higher premium freight costs.

Operating expenses for the period ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, were $1,203 million and $965 million, or 28.9% and 30.7% of Net sales, respectively. The increase in Operating expenses over the prior year was primarily due to higher employee compensation costs associated with higher incentive-based compensation related to improved financial performance in the current year, as well as prior year temporary salary reductions that began late in the second quarter; the inclusion of operating expenses and amortization of intangible assets associated with recently acquired businesses; and increased investment in research and development program projects, principally within our EVM segment. These increases were partially offset by lower Acquisition and integration costs in the current year, as well as the prior year including costs associated with the diversification of the Company’s product sourcing footprint and our 2019 Productivity Plan.

Operating income increased 80.0% to $756 million for the current year compared to $420 million for the prior year. The increase was due to higher Gross profit, which was partially offset by higher Operating expenses.

~~Net income increased 112% compared to the prior year due to higher Operating income and favorability in Other expenses, net, partially offset by higher income tax expense detailed as follows:~~

•~~Other expenses, net was $14 million in the current year compared to $76 million~~$4.22 in the prior year primarily due to lower foreign exchange losses and lower interest expense in the current year. The current year interest expense benefited from a $4 million gain on interest rate swaps compared to a $46 million loss in the prior year, lower interest rates andNet income, partially offset by lower average ~~outstanding debt levels.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary factors that influence our liquidity include the amount and timing of our revenues, cash collections from our customers, cash payments to our suppliers, capital expenditures, repatriation of foreign cash, acquisitions, and share repurchases. Management believes that our existing capital resources, inclusive of available borrowing capacity on debt and other financing facilities and funds generated from operations, are sufficient to meet anticipated capital requirements and service our indebtedness. The following table summarizes our cash flow activities for the periods indicated (in millions):

Receivables Factoring

The Company currently has two Receivables Factoring arrangements, pursuant to which certain receivables are sold to banks without recourse in exchange for cash. One arrangement allows for the factoring of up to $25 million of uncollected receivables originated from the EMEA region. The second arrangement allows for the factoring of up to €150 million of uncollected receivables originated from the EMEA and Asia-Pacific regions. Transactions under the Receivables Factoring arrangements are accounted for as sales under Accounting Standards ~~Codifications~~Codification 860, Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets, with the sold receivables removed from the Company’s balance sheet. Under these Receivables Factoring arrangements, the Company does not maintain any beneficial interest in the receivables sold. The banks’ purchase of eligible receivables is subject to a maximum amount of uncollected receivables. The Company services the receivables on behalf of the banks, but otherwise maintains no significant continuing involvement with respect to the receivables. Sale proceeds that are representative of the fair value of factored receivables, less a factoring fee, are reflected in Net cash provided by operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, while sale proceeds in excess of the fair value of factored receivables are reflected in Net cash ~~(used in) provided by~~used in financing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

~~In May 2021, one of the Company’s Receivables Factoring arrangements that was no longer actively utilized expired.~~ As of ~~October~~April 2, 2021, the Company has two remaining active Receivables Factoring arrangements. One arrangement allows for the factoring of up to $50 million of uncollected receivables originated from the EMEA region. The second arrangement allows for the factoring of up to €150 million of uncollected receivables originated from the EMEA and Asia-Pacific regions.

~~As of October 2, 2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021, there were a total of ~~$23~~$68 million and ~~$70~~$24 million, respectively, of uncollected receivables that had been sold and removed from the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Share Repurchases

On July 30, 2019, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to an aggregate amount of $1 billion of its outstanding shares of common stock. The share repurchase program does not have a stated expiration date. The level of the Company’s repurchases depends on a number of factors, including its financial condition, capital requirements, cash flows, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors its management may deem relevant. The timing, volume, and nature of repurchases are subject to market conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors and may be amended, suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchases may be effected from time to time through open market purchases, including pursuant to a pre-set trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. During the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2021,~~2022, the Company repurchased ~~52,389~~648,875 shares of common stock for ~~$25 million, primarily in the second quarter.

New Accounting Pronouncements

We do not expect any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Non-GAAP Measures

The Company has provided reconciliations of the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, presented herein to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

These supplemental non-GAAP financial measures – Consolidated Organic Net sales growth, AIT Organic Net sales growth, and EVM Organic Net sales growth – are presented because our management evaluates our financial results both including and excluding the effects of business acquisitions and foreign currency translation, as applicable. Management believes that the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures presented provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of our business from period to period and trends in our historical operating results. These supplemental non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for, or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures presented.


Item 3.			Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There were no material changes in the Company’s market risk during the quarter ended ~~October~~April 2, ~~2021.~~2022. For additional information on market risk, refer to Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.


Item 4.			Controls and Procedures

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls as of ~~October~~April 2, ~~2021.~~2022. Based on this assessment and those criteria, our management believes that, as of ~~October~~April 2, ~~2021,~~2022, our disclosure controls were effective.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended ~~October~~April 2, ~~2021,~~2022, there have been no changes in our internal controls that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

~~The Company’s~~Our management, including ~~the~~our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that ~~the~~our disclosure controls and procedures or ~~the~~our internal controls ~~over financial reporting~~ will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how

Table of Contents

well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within ~~the Company~~Zebra have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.			Legal Proceedings

In September 2021, Honeywell filed patent infringement lawsuits against Zebra in multiple jurisdictions, including the International Trade Commission and Federal District Court in the Western District of Texas in the United States, as well as foreign courts in the United Kingdom, Germany and China. Honeywell has made substantially similar allegations of patent infringement in all cases filed. The technology addressed in the various actions generally includes aspects of data capture, barcode reading, and scanning. The allegedly infringing Zebra products identified in the actions are described as barcode scanners, mobile computers with barcode scanning capabilities, scan engines, and components thereof. The remedies sought in these lawsuits include damages and injunctive relief. The same Zebra products and technology are implicated in all of the lawsuits. Zebra is vigorously defending against these infringement allegations. In February 2022, Zebra filed patent infringement lawsuits against Honeywell in multiple jurisdictions, including the International Trade Commission and Federal District Court in the Eastern District of New York in the United States, as well as foreign courts in the United Kingdom, Germany and China. Zebra’s allegations against Honeywell in each case vary based on the underlying technology in the Zebra patent that is alleged to have been infringed by Honeywell. The technology addressed in the various actions includes scan engine functionality generally, distance scanning, power management and security. The Honeywell products that are accused of infringing Zebra’s patents in the various actions include scan engines and components thereof, barcode scanners, mobile computers, RFID printers and other wireless devices. The remedies sought in these lawsuits include damages and injunctive relief.

Item 1A.			Risk Factors

In addition to the other information included in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, and the factors identified under “Safe Harbor” in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations. The risks described in the Annual Report are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently considers immaterial also may materially adversely affect its business, financial condition, and/or operating results. There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, other than as described below.

We also expect to continue the use of third-party contract manufacturing services with non-U.S. production and assembly operations for our ~~business, financial results, and results of operations.~~ The coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has been, and continues to be, complex and rapidly evolving, and has adversely impacted our business, most recently, primarily related to supply chain disruption (including higher fulfillment costs and component shortages) and labor constraints. The duration and extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations and financial results depends on factors that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, such as the severity and transmission rate of COVID-19, the extent and effectiveness of containment actions, the extent to which vaccines and/or other medical treatments are developed and made available to and accepted by the public, and the impact of these and other factors on our employees, customers, industry partners, transportation providers, suppliers and third party dealers, distributors, and resellers.products.

However, there is no guarantee that such protocols will be successful in preventing the spread of COVID-19 amongst our employees. In late 2020, certain vaccines were authorized by major regulatory bodies to help fight the infection of COVID-19, and certain other vaccines are in the late stages of development to provide such treatment. Vaccine and testing mandateseconomic instability may be announced in jurisdictions in which our businesses operate. Our implementation of these mandates may result in attrition, including attrition of critically skilled labor, and may cause difficulty securing future labor needs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Further, we have experienced higher than normal employee absentee rates for employees who are unable to work from home, and even as employees return to our offices, we may be prevented from conducting business activities at full capacity for an indefinite period of time. The potential negative effects to our operations, including reductions in production levels, research and development activities, and increased efforts to mitigate the impact of COVID-19, may adversely affect our ability to deliver our products, solutions and services.

We have experienced shortages in the past that have negatively impacted our results of operations and may experience such shortages in the future. In addition, such volatility in customer demand, product availability, and costs to transport products, may result in increased operating input costs. Credit constraints at our suppliers could cause us to accelerate payment of accounts payable by us, impacting our cash flow.logistics challenges.
